How do you enforce, though? Kick out half the spectators?

Stick a fork in 'em. (Yes, was true after day one, but I hold out hope longer than most.)

Tyler being thrown to the wolf. Team USA punting against Filler and maximizing their chances in the other matchups.

I think you bring up a good point. There's still a negative culture around pool in the US, which I think holds it back, as well. The kids who have parents pushing their interests and skills are pushing kids to learn piano, and/or soccer, etc. It's largely the kids who don't have the parental...

As for 7ft vs 9ft and why Americans suck... For the players currently playing in the MC, sure they all play plenty of time on the big tables. But as for why we have to drop down quite a bit after our top two players (and take a gift from team Europe to have a reasonable top-3), one has to look...

Not sure yet if others have piled on to skor, but while Savannah and Fedor both have very active online presences, I think it's nigh impossible to make an argument with a straight fact that either one doesn't work tremendously at their respective games. Savannah is becoming a real player, and is...

Save yourself the trouble. Or watch for the sheer lunacy of it all.

Great video. Thanks!

Agreed. North America v Europe would be great.

I'm getting team shirts for my league team heading to Vegas. I currently see three options: 1) The "cheap" amazon shirts that allow personal name/team name on prefab loud designs. They are actually decent quality but many teams out there have the same shirt, and we don't like loud regardless...

Definitely not a surprise given who his best buddy is. But all things considered, he's not all that much different from any of the other options. Perusing the top-100 USA Fargo list: I like Oscar, but can anyone say Oscar would perform better? Bergman just likes to crush shortstops locally...

Revisiting this, after thinking about it, the entire reason dual-stage tournaments exist is to provide a balance between players getting "enough play/opportunity" for their money, and for the late stages to be quick, dramatic, and decisive. I think the structure of this tournament is just...

Typical path to citizenship is greencard, then after 5yrs of that, you can apply for citizenship. Getting a greencard can be multiple years. Are you sure he's halfway to citizenship, and not halfway to greencard? Without more concrete information, I would bet the latter, and that he's still...

I think him suddenly being an American is a Matchroom designation. Other promoters probably have their own criteria.

Can you explain why you think a guy with very limited big-tournament experience has more experience in the "late-tournament limelight" than two, albeit younger, touring pros?
